With 345,120 pickup trucks currently registered in Saskatchewan, it’s safe to say that they are a popular choice among drivers. But how do the makes and the models stack up against each other? SGI has the numbers to answer that question.

Saskatchewan’s pickup truck population currently accounts for 35.66 per cent of the total vehicle count in the province.

This large market share is nothing new, as the percentage has barely changed since the start of the 2000’s.

In 2001, there were 264,520 trucks registered in Saskatchewan, out of a total vehicle count of 747,959. That works out to 35.36 per cent.

WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR TRUCK IN SASKATCHEWAN?

The Ford F150 Supercrew 4WD takes the top spot with 40,711 trucks of that specific model and option being registered in the province.

When all of the different versions of the Ford F150 in the province are combined, the total rises to 62,345.

Ford leads the top ten models registered in the province by over 20,000 vehicles, with the (Dodge) Ram 1500 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 placing second and third respectively.

All of the top ten models are courtesy of the “Big Three” North American automakers.
